The role of quantum scalar fields in gravity
Abstract: The presence of matter as represented by the quantum wave function y , for quarks and leptons, causes a gradient on the energy profile of the quantum scalar fields that pervade the Universe, thereby changing the metric tensor g uv for curved spacetime. As another reference frame is considered, with an infinitesimal coordinate transformation, an energy balance is possible between the modified quantum wave functions y and h and the new metric tensor gab . Gravity then propagates through spacetime as a local change in the quantum scalar fields energy, caused by their interaction with spinors.
